Why?

Why Poem?


Why poetry

 

The word of living concern…

The symbol of yearning insights

For sure we want why to know…

That’s the reason we with interest poke

 

Full of learning and added knowledge…

The answers sometimes in wait

Not always welcoming…

But it’s the genuine article

 

Seeking the truth…

Being pesty and nosey

Inquisitive to a specific end…

In search to ease a vexing dilemma

 

Why though?

The burning heart of the typical spirit

The busy soul’s searching and all aware…

Adding comprehension

...yet more questions linger than answers

 

The more we identify…

The further we don’t

 We’re no less consumed…

 By questionings and issues infinite
